Since early 2016, Osmocom has already been offering Nightly_Builds of the master-of-the-day of each individual projects git repository to enable users to utilize Osmocom software without having to build from source. However, by their very nature, nightly builds are volatile as they track each indiviudal development step. This is interesting for users who are testing latest developments or who need to track fixes introduced only very recently.

The new Latest_Builds only change whenever a new release tag is set in the respective source code repository, i.e. every few weeks to months for a given project. While this is not a long-terms supported release, osmocom:latest is a much more suitable choice for deployments.
